How to manage multiple product discounts with limited active discounts?

Topic summary

Managing quantity-based discounts across thousands of products while limited by Shopify’s cap of 25 active automatic discounts.

  • Merchant has ~2,000 products, many needing 4–6 quantity tiers. They combined some products into shared tiers but still exceed the 25 active discount limit.
  • Concern raised about Shopify’s “only 1 active discount” rule: unclear whether a customer can receive multiple product-specific automatic discounts on one order. No definitive answer provided in the thread.
  • Shopify support requested exact tier details to explore workarounds (e.g., hidden/admin-only collections for discount tiering). Suggested third-party apps like Discount Ninja or volume/quantity discount apps; noted Discount Ninja offers a 14-day trial but is third-party.
  • Merchant provided concrete tier examples (e.g., 3+/10+/50+/240/480 units with 8–35% off; other items with 2+/6+ tiers up to 45%).
  • Merchant requires an app with an API; reports not finding any vendors with API support so far.
  • Other users echoed similar needs, asking about API-capable or bulk-update solutions.

Status: Unresolved. Open questions: API-enabled discount management and confirmation of multi-product discount application behavior per order.
